The Community Disaster Resilience Forum – Shire of Yarra Ranges, was held on Saturday 9th September 10 -4 pm
The Community Disaster Resilience Forum was born out of our very successful Living with Bushfire Community Conference last year. This regional forum is supported by the eight Councils of Eastern Metropolitan Melbourne as a way to stay connected with interested community members and groups, to share Emergency Management knowledge and provide an opportunity to network across the region. 100 people attended a really successful event, stay tuned for next year when Nillumbik will host the next forum
